Casablanca, You made a big mistake! :'( (merged)

I am so so sorry, it's just crazy how they can deny without any information. I thiink the letter is well writen and I hope the senator can find the reason for the deniel but don't waste to much time waiting on them. My first K1 application was submitted March of 2011 and my husband finally got here March 2014, one year and haIf was wasted fighting a deniel. I wish you and your family all the luck in the world.

Was he given a piece of paper (221)? What was the reason given?

He was given the 221g but it had no reason indicated on it all. Just signed and the general verbiage of the case being sent back to the US.

Unfortunately, denied k1s are usually left to languish and expire... Options will probably be to refile or figure out a way to marry (maybe a 3rd country) as i understand CR1 denials are able to be appealed for re affirm... Not fiancé visas... Sorry this is happening to you...

Do you know why that is? I'm just curious. Are CR1's harder to deny?

[Hicham♥Sara 15]

Sometimes i have to wonder if they randomly do this ####### to make money

I question everything now... but I would like to think they would not do this to me.

*sigh* I am so tired of the stinking internet!! It's so crazy to me they are ok with us living like this. We are not going to give up so come on!!

Spouse is already an immediate relative, the USC is given the legal courtesy of bringing their immediate relatives to the USA so a denial,of this requires justification and thus appeal and it is an immigrant visa. A fiancé is not yet an immediate relative and is technically a non-immigrant visa...

Rough break.

I hate to say it but you may be better off from a time frame standpoint either re-filing, or marrying in Morocco, though I understand that's not optimal. Who knows how long or effective this appeal attempt will be. I fear a senator doesn't have much pull in these matters.

It seems that a very large number of refused K1's progress no further at High Fraud Consulates.

So reapplying, either for a K1 or CR1 shows more commitment than most.

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Reapplying is definitely the way to go with the K1s, but I would suggest, if you are ready for it, the CR1 as a viable alternative. It has the added bonus of letting your significant other have more freedom once in America, to drive, to work, etc. It does seem to create less relationship strife.

By the way, you guys are a cute couple and definitely look like you belong together. I hope that things work out for you!

Well for sure they will continue to hear from us until the separation nightmare is over.

They did the same ting to us in Cuba. In our case no 221g was given or not told they refuse the visa. They just told us they will give us a call in two weeks and they never call back. I waited two months because I thought they put us on AP. Finally I contacted the congressman office and they asked on my behalf. The answer they gave was, they are returning our application to USCIS with their note to be revoke because they think we don't have bona fide relationship. But we actually showed more than enough evidence considering US embargo on Cuba, very expensive phone calls, text, emails and my traveling to Cuba evidences. It is sad that our lives depends on somebody else decision, but that negative decision will not stop the love. My advise to you is to stay strong and don't give up and one day everything will work out. For us we are not going to do K-1 again we are planning on traveling this summer for 3 months and get marry in a third country then I will file the CR-1. Good luck with the second interview.

Love and blessings.....

we are definitely working on a plan of action for our next steps for sure. Just a LOT of work and a lot of decisions. Some how , some way, we will be together on the same continent.

Sorry you went through this... it is awful. We are supposed to be informed why the petition is being sent back. It's just awful. Glad you guys have a plan worked out and safe travels.

Makes total sense. Thanks

First of all I'm sorry you're going through this.

Second, can you get married (perhaps in a third country even) and apply for a CR1?

[moroccogirlny 100]

I have to say I am in shock, it's not like you just met him. Are there any red flags? Does he have family in the US? Have you tried reaching the Chief Consular?

I have been down this road myself, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Please keep us posted.
